Be on the look-out for this new nasty little bugger as it looks like it might be the next big PITA we'll have to deal with

Researchers have discovered another piece of malware that overwrites the master boot record on infected machines and demands a payment of $100 to reverse the damage.

"If the victim browses the malware author’s website, he is asked to pay $100 using ‘Paysafecard’ or ‘Ukash’. If you are infected by this malware do not visit the website. Use the password ‘aaaaaaciip’ (without quotes) to restore the original MBR. If the password doesn’t work, you can cure your MBR with Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10," Kaspersky Lab malware analyst Dennis Maslennikov said.
